Chapter 978: Another Metamorphosis (1/2)

Four months passed.

Sam is still inside the tempest valley along with the beasts inside the structure. By now Raiju already took the last of the contents from the blood and heart portions Sam made.

The dilution of lightning was really a great method and it worked perfectly according to his calculations. Now all of them are on verge of the breakthrough.

Sam and the beasts are pushing the barrier together and Old beast kept a keen eye on them to make sure that nothing wrong happens.

As they became closer and closer to reach the peak stage of Intiation, Sam suddenly felt a weird sensation in his ees and on his spine near the shoulder blades.

He was familiar with this sensation and the experience for this not exactly pleasant. In fact it was one of the most painful experiences of his life.

It was when he broke through to the middle stage of Astral plane initiation, when the metamorphosis of the l lungs happened.

The change in the lungs due to yanwu's bloodline. Now the same thing is happening but to a different organ. This time it is even happening for two organs instead of one.

Eyes and the back.

He could feel the blood dripping from his eyes and the energy in his body slowly turned into wind elemental energy.

This made him frown in confusion.

He thought since he took the energy from the lightning elemental demons the metamorphosis might have a link to the raiju bloodline. But from the looks of it, it is going on with the order of his contracts.

Since Sky is his second contract the wind elemental energy is the one that is causing the metamorphosis.

Sam gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the pain coming from his eyes and the pain slowly extended to the optic nerves.

But his focus on the pain was completely disrupted as his back also started hurting. He could feel the bones protruding from the spine portion between the shoulder blades.

His back also started bleeding and Sam couldn't even take the pain anymore and started roaring on top of his lungs.

”Ahhhhhhhhhh…”

His whole body felt weak and fell forward. His hands involuntarily reached to his back as he felt the bone protrusions growing more and more.

The increasing pain made him punch the ground and cracks appeared in the structure surrounding them which shielded them from the lightning.

Old Beast looked at his situation and hindered the lightning from striking them. He had an extremely serious expression on his face as he looked at Sam's condition.

There is a sense of familiarity which he couldn't remember where he got this from as he looked at Sam who is growing a new bones out of his body.

The beasts waited for Sam's breakthrough and everyone wanted to comfort him when he saw. But they didn't dare touch him as his groans of pain became more and more intense.

Soon, the bone grew into two wings and slowly flesh started forming over the bone frame and even feathers started growing over it.

And the eyes also stopped bleeding and he could slowly feel his vision returned.

Sam finally stopped feeling pain and his energy started flowing freely as it pushed the barrier of breaking through like it was pushing a paper door.

But after the breakthrough, Sam didn't feel a single ounce of joy, instead there is only relief that the pain was over.

Even that relief didn't last long as he looked at his wings.

His wings are extremely similar to that of the wings of Sky and when Sky saw those wings he became increasingly proud and happy and even stood beside Sam to compare the similarities.

Except for the size, those wings are same in every other aspect.

Even though, Sam is smiling when he looked at Sky's joy, it was particularly forced, because he doesn't know how to hide these. But before that, he decided to try and fly with them.

He tried to feel them and move them and he managed to do that with a surprising ease as if he has been doing all his life.

As he flapped his wings continuously, he levitated a bit. And that is only because he didn't use any spiritual energy. As he channeled the spiritual energy, the wings flapped faster and he slowly started flying.

They worked best when he channeled pure wind elemental energy and when he activated wind elemental fusion, the energy consumption has been reduced by more than half.
